Creamy Garlic & Spinach Alfredo [Low Sodium]

Throughout this Instructable I will teach you how to make a tasty low sodium garlic and spinach alfredo dish with penne. For how delicious this turns out, you wouldn't believe how easy and quick it can be created.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Penne
• 2 tbsp Butter, unsalted (olive oil works here)
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Spinach, fully packed
• 2 tbsp AP Flour
• 1 cup Chicken or Vegetable stock, no salt added
• ½ cup Milk
• ¼ cup Low sodium parmesan cheese
• ½ tsp Black pepper, fresh ground

Start a large pot of water on high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a medium-high heat and add penne to pot. Stir occasionally so pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.

• While the pasta is boiling, turn another saucepan on low-medium heat, add butter and bring to temp.
• Add your garlic and sauté until lightly browned.

• Add your flour to the mixture and create a roux.
• Make sure to incorporate all of the flour into the butter as much as possible. You're looking for a paste like consistency with no visible flour left over.
• Cook, stirring occasionally for 1-2 minutes.

• Add stock, milk, and spinach to the pan.
• Mix the spinach into the liquid to incorporate.
• Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes or until sauce is thickened and spinach is wilted.

• Add your penne to the party.
• Stir in the penne to coat with your new wonderful alfredo sauce.
